  • this is just what happens sometimes when you play live...

  • She is the proof that talent CAN be recognized. She is NOT a slut, she is NOT anorexic and has an amazing voice. Go Amy Lee!

  • Ok who screwed up where ?

  • Comment removed

  • This song is the best i love it id be hppy if we sang it in my choir class id know all the words and me and my best freind mercedes would probally even sing it together cause we both love this lady's music and we'll never grow out of it either she's the best..YOU ROCK EVANESCENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this sounds really bad and wrong, I don't understand, is this a joke?

    im not trying to be mean, I dont know a lot about music, but obviously those men were not musicians who came on stage at the end. were they trying to ruin the song? it seems kind of mean.

  • @yummykatz151 well actually nobody was trying to ruin the song the guitars were a whole step higher than the piano and the violins they didn't lower them so it sounded terrible

  • @yummykatz151 Amy's keyboard was accidentally transposed one step down. The orchestra realized the mistake and transposed THEIR music down (so they're all playing it wrong but it sounds alright) Then the band comes out but they don't know the mistake, they play the notes the CORRECT way, the two pitches clash, and we get this. Make sense?

  • @FrozenFlames9 - How do you know this? i.e. how do you know the keyboard was wrong from the beginning? It sounds like the same key as the studio recording to me

  • @PLCJockey This is just what I've been able to gather from looking it up myself and it seems to be the unanimous explanation. It sounds different to me anyway. But hey, I could be wrong.

  • @FrozenFlames9 you're right dude thats what i'm thinking...the band didn't notice that ...at the beginning i already knew that she sang it one step down intended or not...then when the band starts to play ....there yah go ..WOW..

  • Amy is the best!! Love her!!

    Sooooo bad that her new ambum is going to bo of synthpop.... ¬¬

  • Her voice is very nice!!! XD I love it!!!!!!!!

  • I feel só sorry for her...

  • wow... i love her voice... and the song.. is GrEaT..

    but, were there the alterbridge too?

  • she was off right before the end when wow was heard-the band was ok

  • The band was definitely nót okay!

  • What was Amys issue near the end when she says WOW ? I know I felt as if the Band was off. But what was her problem exactly ? The damn drummer was loud I think. But you tell me.

  • Her problem was very clear, the band was way off as you also heard...Amy and the orchestra started fine, the band was just not aware of the key-change, wich is a lack of communication of I don't know who..I think her saying 'wow' was cute, what else could she do? Just give a humoristic swing to it, you're still on stage in front of cameras! I think Amy sounded along with the orchestra just beautiful..

  • o piano e a orquestra estavam um tom abaixo do original, a banda entrou no tom original e f*** tudo, mas como disse o amihgo ali embaixo, ao menos o baterista tava no tom certo hahhahhahah

  • After the band screwing up, all she says iswow? I would have thrown something at them!

  • You all can blame the band all you want, but from experience, without proper monitors being engineered correctly those guys had no idea they were out of key. Benny is right on, there wasn't anything techinical about the band's chords they should have adjusted once they figured it out but again they most likely did not hear it til it was too late.

  • band is in standard tuning,all else half step down.

  • it's transposition on piano. she is playing original sheet music, but piano sounds one tone lower and she is singing lower too . it sounds worse than original song for me. but she is fucking talented, love her <3

  • fuck off. she is more talented than most people around. how dare u go around saying that? it was made like that on purpose. shut the fuck up about things u dont understand.

  • The piano was the only thing off-key. Her beuatiful voice makes up for that. She is shy and I would love to see you go up there and sing, being shy. It is really hard.

  • beautiful voice, great song

  • Hey, at least the drummer was in tune! LoL

  • Hahaha, you're very right, he was just too loud though, or maybe he has been recorded too loud, bút he's the only one not to blame!

  • No, it's not hard. I play bass, drums, AND guitar. ESPECIALLY with power chords, it's as easy as playing the chords 1 or two frets up or down on the neck... not difficult. And the bassist doesn't just "follow the drums", the bassist has to not only keep time like everyone else, but has to make sure he/she is in key with the song. They don't just blindly play and cross their fingers in hopes that they're in tune. The band should have adjusted, but they figured THEY were right, and Amy wasn't.

  • what a horrible sound mix!!!!

  • omg, she looks so beautiful here

  • Amy Lee is the consumate performer...she had the key, she held the key despite the fuckwits playing with her..the bass player & off stage keyboards had their heads up each others assholes for sure...check the look she gives the bass player as they finish...she had stopped playing with her right hand by this stage & was probably saving her strength to strangle the useless prick !

  • the guitar is also out. the band came in at a different key than the piano and orchestra. Very noticable to anyones ear. They fucked it up real good. Shame

  • when was it ....

    i think its was her first performance

  • dont you guy EVER COMPARE AMY LEE TO RIHANNA OR KATY PERRY AMY LEE'S WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYY BETTER THAN THEM!

  • @pallidamors8 Katy Perry is a bowel movement in the music world

  • she is a little bit nervous!!!!oh my sweety Amy....!!!!

  • great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • its her voice T_T and no playback no like others xD i really dont want to say who are others but maybe i could say how is she. blond-short her second name is Spears although i guess she really knows how to sing, womanizer in her last live was completely a playback =S

  • Che dolce!!!

  • fantastica AMY LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I rescind my previous comment . . . I spoke too soon. The big guitar intro sounded like crud.

    But I still like the lower key . . . if everybody can play the same thing, now.

  • Someone screwed up on the piano tuning. I like this lower key, because it's a bit more melancholy, just unexpected, lol.

  • hi!! nobody screwed the piano. If you noticed, everything was going ok with the orchestra and the piano.. when the bass and guitar came in,, the fucked it up... either they were out of tune or played in a different tone.. Anyhow, they suck!!!!!! Because, if they were in the wrong tone, they could have just transposed to the correct one... And if they were out of tune, then its there fucking problem!! Too bad for such a popular band!!!!

  • No, it was the piano. The piano and orchestra was tuned down. Listen to her other live performances, they're in a different key. Now, the band should have noticed this and made adjustments appropriately, if not before they started, at least AFTER they realized it was off. But they didn't. I bet she was pissed.

  • Why did she say 'sorry' at the beginning? When the director spoke her...

  • There's something about this vid...I dont like...

    Evanescence4Life!

  • Piano's in the wrong key. Gah!

  • Beautiful song, but I don't like this video:(

  • I think she must have been sick, or must have had a flu...

  • I can't hear her! She sounds like she's sick. She doesn't hit the high notes loud enough. what the heck?

  • at least shes better then katy perry live lol katy perry cant hit ANY notes and she robably was sick ive heard way better preformances from evanescence

  • she's 100% better than katy perry omg... or rihanna... holyshit her lives suck... evenescence is better at lives as on CDs (in my opinion)

  • im so glad i dont just see that and that there are other people that do :D

  • they are not on the same tune.

    amy: wow! (LMAO)

  • wow......amy lee is so beautiful and her dress....sounds like it really in heaven

  • shit happens....

  • Amy Lees amazing! Her band is awesome too! :D

  • u can even hear her breathe^^ and see her shaking her head.. and her voice got a little shaky when the guitars/drums kicked in...

    but still, they did a good job and i loved how she suddenly said: wow in the middle of the songs hahaa... ur awesome!

  • wow... i have never seen sth like that happening by professionals

  • watch at the beginning wen amy lee and the conductor are talking. they probably talking about changing the key of the song to a half note lower.the orchestra, being highly skilled musicians can change any note or key at any time of any song. the only thing ,they forgot to tell the guitars that they changed the key to the song to half step lower.thereby making the guitars horribly out of key.

  • they were talking about something. the orchestra can maybe play the song a half step down, but Amy lee can't just change how she plays the song. and she is not gonna change how she sings right there on the spot.

    my guess is the guitar tech for the band must have been new or did not get the memo to tune the guitars in the right key.

  • I think that your dead on - this was a case of miscommunication , the guitars obviously came in a step higher and it sounded like nails on a chalkboard. The piano ,orchestra and Amy were all on the same page, it was lovely until the band came in, too bad, it's a fantastic song.

  • The guitars were horribly out of tune.

    Everything else was in the right key.

  • totally out of tune :S horrible

  • not her, the guitars. she's great.

  • Everything was awsome until the guitars came in. They totally killed the rest of the song. But Amy, being the trooper that she is finished it beautifully.

  • indeed. but i don't get it, the guitars were out of tune, didn't they check it before performing in front of people :S anyway, amy didn't get confused, she's great :)

  • Yes, the lead guitar on 3:23,,, i think the guitar is higher than the piano, maybe 0,5 octaf... but it's really horrible, coz lead guitar... i think the bass also in problem,,, wow,,, u know, maybe the problem is in the orchestra (piano and more, not in guitar and bass coz they always bring them guitars...)

  • wow la orquesta en un tono y la banda en otro

    pobre Amy, hasta dijo "WOW", que tambien se entiendo como WTF

    jajajaja

  • out of tune

  • not out of tune

  • i mean they use different code.........

  • SHES SO SO GOOD ILOVE THE SONGGGG

  • i love this live performance, it combined the 2 my immortal versions, the one with the violin and the one with the band

  • CRINGE. how embarassing

  • whats so embarassing about this?

  • i think it was that the violoins couldnt reach the heights tht amy and the piano could

  • Lol I still thought it was pretty damn good. I was looking at previous comments, and basically i think it was just clearly an accidental miss communication, Amy and the orchestra I'm pretty sure were not playing in the usual A major as the rest of the evanescence band was (however they may have been in another key too), but hey shit like that happens... I mean that was almost perfect, can u imagine if all went well... It would've been phenomenal...

  • what year is this??? is this her first time??

  • at 1:53-54... is that a keyboard?

    wtf?

    like the reflection on the piano

    wut is that..

  • yeah i wonder what was that

  • WOW

    i figured it out

    WOW WTF AMY LEE

    that's not an actual piano

    she just took out the key part of the actual piano and stuck a keyboard there

    at 1:56 u can see through the "piano"

    wow... unless amy wanted to show that... the camera guy or director was retarded

  • i agree

  • what a pity,if the band played the right key with the piano and violins, the performance will be perfect

  • how does this have 5 stars lol..

  • Heheh She knew they weren't - you could see by her laughing throughout the performance and then utting her head down.

    I bet she's still slapping herself!

  • so thats y she sed wow after the instrumental bit =s id like to see u sing like that live

  • she's an amazing singer...and she's singing beautifully here. she must be doing something right cause they're still making albums. Don't hate til you try getting up on stage and singing in front of thousands of people. The nerves get to you and you can't always stay in key.

  • I agree

  • off key tsk..still great tho

  • beautiful performance..amy the best!!..really love it..very beautiful!!..love uuuu

  • i must be totally tone deaf cuz i thought it sounded fine lol

  • She was ill!

  • I love this video...yeah I thought the band and Amy was off key at first but after you really listen deeply it was somewhat a very wicked "funky" sound.

  • I love this video...yeah I thought the band and Amy was off key at first but after you really listen deeply it was somewhat a very wicked "funky" sound.

  • I remember watching this on tv. My dad and I were like.. oh no.. they're not in tune!

    Amy did GREAT though.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyy­yyyyyy

  • its because they tuned her piano in a lowwer key and they had to go with it

  • I think Amy Lee is one of the best singers ever despite all this happening.

  • It doesnt seem like it was her fault, cause her piano sounded nice with the violins, but everything went down when the guitar started playing, and by the way, when they were presented she was still talking to someone, why??

  • yes she is playing it an octive lower...fucked up the band...she should have said something..or she did and her band mates didnt listen lol

  • ^^poor amy

  • lol the rest of the band ruined it totally...the bass drum was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to loud :D:D

    could´nt stop laughing, sry :D

    poor amy

  • I don't think the bass drum was the problem so much as the fact that the orchestra and the band was playing in different keys.

  • She should used the piano to keep them in tune. It is really surprising how much a piano can overpower string instruments, especially if she used the sustaining pedal. It is a percussion instrument, after all. The drums were right on and all she had to do was hit the keys harder and the orchestra would have adjusted.

  • ouch..that hurt my ears a bit...

    but at least amy and the orchestra got the tuning memo

  • i'm sorry she still sang wonderfully despite it all. She smiled and and said "wow"-it wasn't her and managed to sing threw it.Well done:)

  • holy crap they butchered that badly!!!

  • poor amy looks so embarassed at the end. clearly the rest of band didnt remember the change in key.

  • EVERYBODY. BASS AND GUITAR CAME IN AT ORIGINAL NOTE, why amy played it in a lower note we will never know, but the SOUND GUYS IMMEDIATELY knew what was going on so they muted out the fucking guitars and bass, making the drums appear louder, thus making it a trainwreck. SO FUCK!! get it right! apparently none of yo showed up the day they were handing out COMMON SENSE

  • fuck you you fucking prick. "out of tune" could be a number of things. i wouldn't expect you to understand because you are not a musician, youre just a smart ass trying to pull one on me.

  • lol youre pathetic look at what you have put :| you argued EXACTLY the same thing as me and said that it ws the guitar that was out of tune. :S

  • i give up.

  • good cos were arguing the same point wich is POINTLESS, the guitar was not in the same key as the singer and the orchestra and your aggressive approach has got you nowhere :|

  • yeah im sorry. there.

  • oooooooooooh poor amy :( lol

    it was definately the guitar that was out of tune :\ oh dear cos it was goin really weellll

  • I'm still pretty annoyed that they just copied and pasted the Fallen version of My Immortal in the Anywhere But Home book. Cause it was obvious that she wasn't playing that version.

  • She sang perfect, and she is indeed playing in D major, (normally she uses the equalizer on the _electric_ piano to get it in D major (Think she plays it in Cmj on the electric piano (is way easyer)) And if you listen correct at 3:17 the guitar and drums are so off track... jeez, she did wonderfull with such a band...

    Congratz Amy <3

  • the drums are not off track wtf are you talkinga bout? it was the guitars you dumbass

  • at 4:00min in she knew too...she knew it sounded terrible and she just laughed and said, "wow". lol

  • why do you think it sounded terrible?? her voice wasnt THAT bad :\ its been worse

  • nah dude i agree with you...her voice is fine...she always sings great. im saying that the band is not in key with her and they sound terrible...listen to it when they come in...and then at like 3:55sec into it she laughs and says wow because she knows how bad it sounded.

  • oh my god its you! :O lol you commented on my videos lmao

    haha yeah it does actually i didnt realise, i think its terry actually you know, i think his guitar is out of tune, cause i doubt that the WHOLE orchestra would be off key! and it is a REALLY bad string arrangement!!!

  • fucking idiot. his guitar is in tune they are just playing the song in a different key than amy. YOU FUCK

  • it wasn't her voice. it wasn't the strings. it was the guitars. the guy on the BASS obviously forgot they were playing it in a lower key YOU FUCK.

  • her voice and the strings where perfect :]

    but the piano and the guitar was fucked up

  • ok... whoever it is ... the person should be fired..

    but anyway amy was amzing... perfect i mean her voice...

  • well anyway she managed to blend her voice with the music...

  • It's not the piano o.O;

    Because she's actually playing in a different key.

    Look at her fingering.

    She's not playing in D major, foo'.

    I think it's just the band that didn't know about the key change. :|

  • lmao. you remind me of ME.. smart ass (thats a compliment btw) :D

  • Yeeaahhh ;3 I kinda rock.

    :runs off:

  • the guitarists look like retards... didnt they notice that its all wrong? except Amy... and the strings.. so dumb..

  • I think that the performance was somewhat saved because she did perfect on the vocals. The band did the best they could, but everyone knew that the piano screwed them over.

  • what ever douchebag put the piano in the wrong key should be fired. note, it was in fact the piano in the wrong key (as well as the string players). when amy started playing, she was probably like "oh fuck". i know i would have been.

    anyway, it proformance was good, and evanescence rules!!.

  • That would have been the perfect performance....I'm so sry for Amy *___*

  • she was impressed with the string perfomers...u didnt notice when she smiled at them...i thnk she wasnt impressed bcoz of the piano key..

  • Well, when they came in it was off key

  • WOW the band was in the wrong key in the beginning

  • octave higher on the keys...is it just me or did anyone else hear delay on it?? but yeah amy lee is delicious HAHA

  • you mean not impressed with the string performers?

  • You can see Amy shake her head a few times towards the end so she's obviously not impressed.

    Her singing was great though and boy did she look beautiful :)

  • yeah i notice when her band came in it was off

    but her voice was amazing as always ^___^

  • I feel bad for amy in this video :( her voice is perfect n yet all the instruments seem abit off ,she must of been well gutted

    i still love this video tho <3

  • Hmmm...not the best performance. I think the strings put her off to begin with (all of the other performances I've seen with her were great and they didn't have strings), and then when the band came in their instruments hadn't been tuned right so that just kind of worsened everything. Still a lot better than some other artists live though.

  • no, the string players were just reading the music they had. she has one of those pianos that you can change keys in without putting your hand in a different position. the band was tuned right, but some jackass didn't put the piano and strings in D flat minor so now I am mad, and want to kick my dog.

  • No, I mean, the strings were tuned right, but I think they were just distracting.

  • the strings were in the wrong key, as was the piano. there a kinds of pianos you can get that give you the option of changing key without moving your hands (for example, if you were to play a song in c minor normally, but you wanted to hear it in g minor, you could click a button and play as you were in c minor, but the music would be in g).

  • the piano isnt in the original key

  • its not nesscesarily off key it sounds like it not in its original key, maybe instead of A major, F major but i will admit she is harsh on some of her notes

  • a good performance turned bad! I don't think it's the player's fault. they been performing this song times before. and the guitar or electric base aren't like the violins where you have to put your fingers o the exact place to get the right sound. it's either you put your fingers on the right fret or not. So it must be the tuning of the strings. technichal problems happened!

  • By the way for those of you that didn't notice the problem, it starts at the third minute and fourteenth second (3.14), probably milliseconds

    before.

  • Guys none of you know what your talking about.

    first of all,the first three notes hit where done by the bass player which by the way had the bass detuned probably by some idiot that forgot to tune it up after taking it out of the gig bag,yes!,second the guitars had a huge sound problem, sound guys fault,something went terribly wrong with both the guitars,I did not hear a thing out of them,and I'm going on a limb here but i seriously think that it was a sabotage.I,m both musician and sound tech.

  • you my friend have no idea what YOU are talking about. your theory sucks. its quite simple. amy played the song in a lower note, why we will never know JACKASS, but the rest of the band played the song in the key THE key THEY ALWAYS play it in. so go fuck yourself a new one.

  • WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU SOOO AGRESSIVE! :O get a life! and dont call ME a "fucking idiot" because i KNOW that it is the guitars that are out of tune, why have you said that to me when you have said EXACTLY the same thing!? :S

  • what happened to the guitar??? it was terrible.. but amy's voice is wonderful

  • damn, off key! did they rehearse?

  • despote the guitarists little mishap i looove this video .amy is so pretty and the best thing about it is she dosent seem to know how pretty she really is.conceited people annoy me.i love her dresses and the fact that she sews some of them.i cant even sew a button without pricking my fingerLMBO

  • it was definatley the guitars if u watch youll notice the look on amys face when they go off key lol i noticed because it was the same look i get when im singing and the musicians go off.she pulled it off flawlessly i think.i loved the part where she said wow lol

  • Man if I was singing.

    I would have been like screw the Orchestra.

    They mess me up.

    And sing the song in their usual key.

  • she sounds a bit nervous! :(

    but your right an orchestra would adjust the key. any proffessional musician can if they cant then they shouldnt be a musician its like a painter saying oh no i cant paint that!

  • it's the guitar that's out of key..the rest of the band and the orchestra stay in the same key throughout the song..at about 3:13 the guitar jumps into a different key..huge mistake. and for the record, the idea that the professional orchestra would tell the famous band "we can only learn this in one key" is ridiculous. they would have learned it in whatever key they were told to learn it in...the band adjusts to the vocalists preferences..not the other way around.

  • no no, lol. I meant that it was probably an accident...miscommunication when they were told to learn it.

  • For those of you blaming the band here, I only partially agree. I blame the strings for learning the song in the wrong key. It screwed the band up from what they are used to. However, the band members should have a good enough ear to recognize the key change, and adjust accordingly.

  • Well Amy and the strings were singing/playing in a different key than the original...about a half step lower. The guitars came in on the original key that they usually play, so it sounded horrible, lol. My guess is that the conductor told Amy that they only knew it in that key at the beginning there, when they were talking. Naturally, Amy can adjust without a problem, but the guitar players were probably unaware of the key change.

  • it was the sound guys fault

  • Never heard it with strings live before.

  • what was wrong w/the guitars? - i just didn't notice and everyones commenting about it ,so i'm just wondering

  • wow best song i ve ever heard

  • REalmente esta cancion es preciosa y ...weno Amy no tuvo la culpa d q la guitarra la guaneara toda!!!!....eia es una artista ...y no se dejo

  • i really love this performance (:

  • When she said "sorry" at the beginning, was she apolog
